" A weak story with dull characters and a forgettable ending. None of the motivations for anyone involved in the story felt real - they felt like explanations the author conjured up to make the plot move in a specific way. There didn't seem to be any PASSION involved in any of the characters, and I felt nothing for any of them. It was an easy enough read, which is why I got through it in a day, but left me feeling nothing throughout. Some of it was interesting, but I knew most of the facts already and it didn't really show much about the old way of living. It was a plain, boring book filled with nothing except meaningless words. I'm not recommending this to anyone. It left me feeling so 'eh' that if you wanted to read it, I wouldn't even be bothered convincing you not to. "
